Will the information be intercepted while it is being transmitted through the air?
WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling.
On the software side, WLAN offers the encryption function (WEP or WPA) to enhance
security and access control.
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
What is WPA-PSK?
WPA-PSK means Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key. It is an enhanced wireless
encryption standards defined by the Wi-Fi Alliances.
What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the
manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows
the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is
usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a computer logs
onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same making it a valuable
identifier for the network.
How do I reset MB6800 to factory default?
When MB6800 is working in normal status, press and hold the RELOAD button for about
20 seconds, until all the indicator lights turn off. Then release RELOAD button, press the
